The move itself was moderately grueling. Nicholas and I agreed that the ability to live-tweet our adventures through darkest Richmond to find IKEA form the most compelling reason for either of us to finally get a smartphone. While heading in a direction that turned out to be about 270 degrees off my intended course, I sighted a Tofu Soup House and had to be restrained, then some point we crossed the Fraser river, broke an axle, someone got dysentery, and Nicholas and I finally found the Swedish Death Star and set ourselves up for some Sherlock-style jokes, somehow.

Just take my word for it that everything worked out in the end. (… With bourbon-based cocktails. See, our mana was low due to the charm spells we had to cast on the bank and computer store to be allowed to buy our equipment because apparently they don’t accept cheques from businesses with even the monumental financial reputation that Gaslamp Games enjoys.)

The calm before the storm. Joseph installs Maya while Nicholas looks for sweet keyboard deals on Ebay. I am discovering that the minifridge is rather heavier than it looks.

We have windows now! And here I am doing my art-direction thing: "Sean! Tighten up the art on level 2!"

If you could see a man in his tools, you would see Sean in this picture. Unfortunately he was the one taking pictures because my camera ran out of batteries and is generally terrible so you really have no idea what he looks like, just comfort in the fact that he's a fan of both Dead Space and natural light. Yes, Sean is indeed a man of contradictions.

Well, that’s about enough excitement for one blog post. We’re settling in and beginning production on the ever-mysterious Project Odin which we’ve decided to delay the big announcement on ’til GDC wraps up and we get together enough material to show off something substantial.

In the meantime, Sean’s whipped up a little something from Odin to show off and fuel some more tortuous speculation:

Forever may our humble axles turn as the Holy Cog steadily rotates the celestial spheres above the earth and with divine symmetry churns the waters of the seas.

Got it! Odin is a wartime simulator that involves using water wheels and windmills to power complex war-machine-making machinery in distance places. Also, mining the ore needed to make the war machines. Also, diggles. Plush ones.
